Kvikk Lunsj Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Oh boy. <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> If it is a 180m it would need a 2.8 multiplier to hit 500m. A 2.4 Multiplier would be 430m . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Taking out midnights/previews: TA1 - $188.7m TA2 - $160.1m IM3 - $158.5m If it continues running 1% ahead of IM3 for the rest of its run, it will not reach $425m. I think $500m is very unlikely and I'll be pretty happy if it can go past $450m at this point. What IM3 dealt with its first month: Furious 6 - $240 million Star Trek 2 - $230 million The Great Gatsby - $145 million Now You See Me - $120 million The Hangover III - $110 million Epic - $105 million After Earth - $60 million What Avengers 1 had to deal with in its first month: MIB 3 - $180 million Snow White and the Huntsman - $155 million Dark Shadows - $80 million Battleship - $65 million The Dictator - $60 million The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - $45 million What to Expect When You're Expecting - $40 million What Avengers 2 has to deal with in its first month (likely scenario): Hot Pursuit - $45 million Mad Max - $125 million Pitch Perfect 2 - $160 million Tomorrowland - $135 million San Andreas - $75 million Poltergeist - $60 million Aloha - $40 million Iron Man 3 had a ridiculous amount of competition its first month, compared to both Avengers films. Why would Avengers 2 hold exactly the same when it has almost no competition this month except Tomorrowland and slightly San Andreas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pensivepenguin Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I wonder if there has actually been anyone who has paid to see The Avengers solely because RDJ is in it. I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGPOP Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 You cant just change your predicts after numbers come out and beg for credit. Some people were calling sub-200 back on Tuesday. They deserve credit. Youre calling after the Friday number. So, you dont. I'm not asking for credit. Never have, never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The47th Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Not a bad number (although holy shtick if the budget really comes close to $280M) but definitely disappointing. No matter how much damage control you try to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 For all those keeping score, #AgeOfUltron grossed 30 times more than #AgeOfAdaline this wknd. For those wondering. — Gitesh Pandya (@giteshpandya) May 3, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I wonder if there has actually been anyone who has paid to see The Avengers solely because RDJ is in it. At this point RDJ IS Iron man. They are one and the same. I'm not sure even his wife can tell the difference between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I think there's a chance it hits 190 and the attitude on this board turns around considerably. I think Sunday is being underestimated. I think the fight, in combination with game 7 AND the Derby, hurt me than people think. CNN's front page yesterday said "Sporturday!" for God's sake, and that's at a time where shit is actually happening in the world. Every sports fan had been hyping this up to be the greatest single sports day in a LONG time- and with sports being such a major part of Americans identity (no matter how much this board pretends they don't matter sometimes), that's huge. People will stay home for the king of all sports days. And looking at social media metrics, crowd reports, and preliminary buys/revenue info, turns out the fight was even bigger than I kept arguing it would be. So yea, Sunday is going to bounce back big. Or maybe people will be burned out and just stay at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytr87 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It amazes me how you guys never learn. It WAS unrealistic to think this would surpass the first on OW. Typically franchises (we'll call the Avengers its own franchise for argument's sake) don't hit their ceiling with the first movie, but The Avengers did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingdong123 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Uh oh. As a disney nerd, it breaks my heart to see them have a year not yet living up to expectations, with Cinderella having a brutal time passing 200M and Age of Ultron now. Yeah Ultron is doing great but everyone set a bar too high for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right but Disney is already giving it a pretty generous hold of 20% on Sunday. TA1 had 18% with phenomenal WOM and a bunch of spillover from too many sellouts on Friday/Saturday. Excluding previews, it is performing more like IM3 than TA1. IM3 dropped 30% on Sunday, so it seems Disney is already accounting for at least some of the "bounceback" effect you're talking about.
